Sox Take First 2 vs. Angels By identical Scores

Jermaine Dye hit a walk-off homer in the 9th last night to lead the Sox to another 5-4 victory and up the Sox record in 1 run ballgames to 17-7. He also had an outstanding diving catch in short right field and was able to double up the runner who had been at 1st.
Garcia had a so-so start, as he was falling behind hitters and using much more off-speed stuff than he had in his past two outings. He exited after 5 1/3 with a hamstring problem having surrendered just 3 runs. Neil Cotts and Cliff Politte both looked great in relief with Politte looking the best in his 1 2/3 scoreless innings.
The Big Hurt was not in the line-up, as expected, but was available to pinch hit. He will not be back in the line-up until the weekend at the earliest.
